Soup For My Family<p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/OrbitalSync" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OrbitalSync</span></a> is now compatible with Pihole v6, so I resurrected and rebuilt my backup <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Pihole" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pihole</span></a> last night. My primary Pihole is hosted on my server, but for a backup Pihole it's honestly the best thing you can do with an original <a href="https://aus.social/tags/RaspberryPi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RaspberryPi</span></a>. You just need to be patient when running updates haha</p>

oliver<p>So, aktuell habe ich 2 <a href="https://anonsys.net/search?tag=pihole" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pihole</span></a>. Einer ist natürlich überflüssig. Aber ich wollte von einem Pi 1 auf einen Pi 3B umziehen, um dann zusätzlich noch <a href="https://anonsys.net/search?tag=Docker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Docker</span></a> zu installieren und darin noch irgendwas an Software laufen zu lassen, z. B. <a href="https://anonsys.net/search?tag=Vaultwarden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Vaultwarden</span></a> und mal schauen, was noch so geht bzw Sinn macht. <a href="https://anonsys.net/search?tag=Immich" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Immich</span></a> (Alternative zu Google Photos) und <a href="https://anonsys.net/search?tag=Nextcloud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nextcloud</span></a> wären ganz nett, aber vor allem ersteres wäre mit Inhalt sowieso viel zu groß für die 128-GB-SD-Karte im Pi.</p><p>Für <a href="https://anonsys.net/search?tag=immich" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>immich</span></a> und anderes würde sich eigentlich mein NAS (Diskstation) anbieten, aber leider ist das Ding zu alt und da kann ich kein Docker installieren.</p><p>Gerade kam mir noch in den Sinn, dass ich mir ja auch nen Thinclient für kleines Geld zulegen könnte. Puh, ich komm immer von Hölzchen auf Stöckchen, aber eigentlich habe ich eh viel zu wenig Zeit für solche Hobbies. Aber die Möglichkeiten wären da schon andere und theoretisch würde es sich lohnen.</p><p><a href="https://anonsys.net/search?tag=raspberry-pi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>raspberry-pi</span></a> <a href="https://anonsys.net/search?tag=degoogle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>degoogle</span></a> <a href="https://anonsys.net/search?tag=unplugTrump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>unplugTrump</span></a></p>
